Mormugao (INMRM)

Mormugao is an open harbour, protected by a breakwater and also by a mole built eastward from the seaward end of the breakwater, running parallel to the quay. This affords protection from turbulent seas during the SW monsoons. The harbour has been constructed on the leeward side of Mormugao Headland. The port is served by 2 major navigable rivers, the Zuari and the Mandovi, which are also interconnected by the Cumbarjua Canal. The port has accommodation for both general and bulk cargoes. There are 3 mooring dolphins for vessels loading from barges, these operations can be carried out during monsoons. The principal exports are iron ore, manganese ore, and alumina, the principal imports are petroleum products, liquid chemicals, coal, general cargo, containers, cruise and passengers.

Arabian Sea Seasonal Tropical Area, Tropical Sep 1 to May 31, Summer Jun 1 to Aug 31.

Mormugao is situated on the W coast, approx 220nm S of Mumbai (Bombay), on the NE side of Mormugao Headland.

LOA 335m, draught 14m, beam 50m, 209,935DWT.

Approx 17,000,000t of cargo (including 9,600,000t of coal and 2,000,000t of iron ore), 2,000TEU and 0 passengers (due to pandemic Covid 19) handled annually.

During the fine weather season about 50 vessels can lie at anchor off the port. Vessels waiting for a pilot may anchor about 2nm WNW of Mormugao Point in a depth of about 13.0m, mud. The following anchorages are available: ..... Name Latitude Longitude Notes EOB 15°25.3'N 073°48.0'E E of breakwater WOB 15°25.2'N 073°45.2'E W of breakwater WOB 15°26.0'N 073°43.0'E W of breakwater (deeper draught vessels anchored more westward) Prohibited anchorages: A prohibited anchorage is established between Searle Patch (15°27.0'N 073°48.0'E), approx 1.0nm SW of Amee Shaols and the W end of Saint George's Islands (15°21.0'N 073°46.0'E). Anchoring is also prohibited approx 0.5nm and 1.3nm SE of Pikene Island due to the existence of concrete piles and underwater sensors. Underwater obstructions, which may protrude up to 0.5m from the seabed exist within this area and any vessel damaging these could face an immediate hazard.

Mormugao Bay is entered between Mormugao Point (14°25.0'N 073°54.0'E) and Cabo Rajniwas, 3nm N. The port, including its inner anchorage, is approached through a buoyed channel which passes close N of Mormugao Head. There is no separate fairway buoy. The entrance to the channel is marked by green and red buoys, situated approx 3.6nm W of the breakwater. The approach channel berth is marked by lighted buoys, positioned approx 25m outside the charted channel limits. The length of the channel is 4nm; width 250m and depth 14.4m below LWS. The alongside berthing area, protected by a breakwater and a mole at its W end, is situated on the NE side of Mormugao Head. There is a turning basin, for vessels using the deep water berths, enclosed within the dredged area about 0.6nm ESE of the breakwater head.

Coastguard may be contacted via signal station. There are no specific requirements or formalities. Aircraft, helicopters and patrol boats are available, Tel: +91 832 2520585, Fax: +91 832 2520734.

1025, approx 1018 during the SW monsoon.

Vessels are generally berthed port side alongside berths in the order of arrival. However, ousting priorities are provided for container and passenger vessels, provided that 24 hours notice of arrival is given in addition to the general notice. At Berths No 10 and 11, the berthing is usually starboard side alongside except in cases of passenger ships and container vessels arriving in the daytime and leaving at night time. Number of tugs used depends on the type and size of ships. There is no separate charge for tugs for berthing/unberthing operations.

Pilotage is compulsory for all berthing and unberthing movements. Pilotage is available throughout 24 hours and should be requested 48 hours in advance through vessel's agent. Pilot boards in position 15°24.6'N 073°44.2'E (about 0.9nm W of No 1 and No 2 Lightbuoys). In bad weather pilot will guide vessel from pilot vessel until boarding becomes possible. For pilotage services, vessels should call the Signal Station as soon as possible, when the vessel is within VHF range. During SW monsoons only daytime pilotage is available. The distance from the boarding point to the farthest berth is approx 5.5nm, to the nearest berth is approx 4.8nm and to the nearest anchorage is 0.5-4nm.

The port limits are defined as follows: Mormugao area: ..... To the North From a point on the coast on the parallel of 15°27.5'N due W along the same parallel to the meridian 073°37.5'E. To the West From the position in 15°27.5'N 073°37.5'E in a SE direction to a position in 15°20.0'N 073°39.5'E. To the South From the position in 15°20.0'N 073°39.5'E, due E along the parallel of 15°20.0'N, to a point where this parallel meets the coast. To the East All the waters of the River Zuari W of the Agacaim-Cortalim ferry, (excluding the Ferry and landing stage). Betul Point: To the North From the point on the coast in the parallel of 15°12.0'N due W to where the parallel meets the ten fathom line. To the West The ten fathom line. To the South From the point on the coast in the parallel of 15°05.0'N due W to where the parallel meets the ten fathom line.

Breakwater North Head Light is exhibited from a white concrete and FRP tower, 26m in height, fitted with a radar reflector, at the N point of the breakwater. Breakwater East Head Light is exhibited from a squat masonry tower at the head of the mole.

Note: No night navigation in monsoon months from end May to Sep 15. Night navigation is introduced with effect from Sept 15 to the end of May, subject to weather conditions for the following: ..... 1. Vessels coming alongside Berth No 9 with maximum LOA of less than 280m. 2. Vessels sailing from Berth No 9 having LOA up to 305m at any state of tide. 3. Tankers entering/leaving harbour with LOA less than 230m and draught as may be indicated by the deputy conservator/harbour master, at Berth No 8. 4. No 10 Berth: a. Berthing of vessels up to LOA 225m with starboard side alongside. Berthing of vessels up to LOA 215m with port side alongside. b. Unberthing of vessels up to LOA 225m with port side alongside.* Unberthing of vessels up to LOA 215m starboard side alongside. 5. Berth No 11: a. Berthing of vessels up to LOA 215m with starboard side alongside. Berthing of vessels up to LOA 150m with port side alongside (200m with bow thruster) b. Unberthing of vessels up to LOA 215m with port side alongside.* Unberthing of vessels up to LOA 190m with starboard side alongside (200m with bow thruster). * (Normally all berthing of vessels at Berths No 10 and 11 will be starboard side alongside. However, passenger vessels, container vessels and phosphoric acid tankers may be permitted to dock with port side alongside with prior permission). 6. Highly manoeuvrable passenger vessels will not be restricted by the conditions imposed in (4) and (5). Higher lengths for such passenger vessels may also be considered for night navigation. 7. Other movements intended for night hours may be permitted by the deputy conservator/harbour master after examining each case on its own merit with due consideration for night navigation. 8. Vessels intending to make use of the tide and load over the above draught should get prior permission from the deputy conservator/harbour master, and the extra draught permission will be governed by prevailing sea and weather conditions and height of tide on the day in question. The Port Authority apply an under keel clearance of 1.2m and a swell allowance of 0.5m. During the SW monsoon a higher swell allowance is applied.

Range 2.3m (spring), 1.6m (neap).

A VTMS is in operation which controls traffic in the approaches. Vessels should contact VTMS callsign "Goa Port" when 12nm from breakwater.

The port has 2 x 45t bollard pull VST fire fighting tugs and 1 x 50t bollard pull tug.

The winds are more pronounced during the monsoon months from Jun-Sep, the direction being mainly WSW. The rest of the year the winds are of a lesser force, from N, NE, E and SE the velocity of wind varies from 11-33kts.
